MY MEMOIR

High school is the start of any persons adult life. I am now finishing my 1st year here at Edison High. As everyone does I have had my ups and downs. High school has been the start of a new life for me, and as you know each life has its bad times and good times. I have been told that I would fail 2 classes once. Another time I was happy because the first day of school i would get out at 1:45 PM. One time I had to serve detention for 3 days. And finally when i got into ACC. Writing.

One day when i had gone to my english class, the teacher called me over and said that I would be failing english. I asked her why and she said that I missed 2 HWs. To me that didnt seem to be a lot to fail someone but that is a teachers decision. A more worst time was when I had to be told that I would fail math because i was absent too much. Even though i passed all the tests he still wanted to fail me... and i was sent into foundations math... but i dont regret it because the teacher i have now is real cool, and better than the one i might have gotten. The guidance counselor called me in one day and talked to me about failing my classes. I told him that it is hard for me to get used to HS and he understood but all in all it was well worth it... I didnt fail english because the teacher said he was playing with me that I almost failed. But in math he did fail me and thats why i am in foundations math and like i said before i dont regret it not a little bit. After the first term in HS i am doing good in those 2 classes. I hope to pass them this time and i know i wont get in trouble with the guidance counselor again. I hope that I dont get into trouble again with any staff.

A good thing that happened to me in Edison high was that the 1st day of school I got out at 1:45. It was cool because i was told that I would get out at 2:00 but getting out of school early is almost every kids dream. I got out because main clas is like most of the day so by the time 8th period is up it is 1:45 and they let us out. This is a happy moment because for me i know that every year if i get 8 periods then i will be able to get out at 1:45 every year. That day I also met fellow people from the school which was pretty cool because now i know them and we all look out for each other and think of each other as friends ( although i think some just act like it). That is cool because the 2nd day of school was about the same schedule which to me was like did they changehe schedules in the school or what? The only thing i didnt like much was that in the 2nd term of school the time of the bell was delayed at checkout so now i get out a little later than usual. Getting out of high school is almost every kids dream and I look foward to it again in september of next year when the freshmen come in and we get to be sophmores.

One day I had to serve detention for being late. This was a bad time because i had to pass my classes but because of this detention it was weighing me down. The worst thing about it was when I was in detention. I had to sit next to these 2 boys on one side and 2 girls on the other they kept talkingand the dean must have thought that I was talking and kept me here to stay after school. I got mad because i want talking and had to stay a extra 20 minutes just because of the deans assumption. The only good thing is that i got home pretty quick seeing that the bus wasnt full at all. It was cool because i got home and had a lot of stuff to do and was only sidetracked by like 15 minutes which wasnt a lot.. see the problem is that I had to make a webpage but didnt have the time to make it and had to wait till put it on-line. The detention really messed up my schedule and I had to delay the up grade on my site. But i have done it already and am happy for it. the detention was a minor problem and I hope that i dont ever have to serve it again.

Acc reading was the best class that I could have ever gotten into. I got into this class because I had acc reading before it and after that is acc writing. The teacher that i have is Ms. Gokturk. She is a great teacher and is teaching us HTML to make webpages for our class. Unlike other acc writing classes a select few get to do this computer writing called cyber english and some might not get to learn html as we know now. I see this class as a honor to be in. Some students may never get to this type of class and will miss out on everything that is in store for them and at the very end of the semester we will get the chance to spice up our webpages with some cool graphics and anything else that may be cool to me and the other students in my class. I hope to get a job in the computer world someday and this knowledge that i posses today will help me greatly in my future.

Which is harder HS or JHS? Well the answer is simple HS... I say that because it is the next step in our education and of course it is going to have a harder output than JHS and you will have to do some stuff harder than before. HS is very hard because the teachers give you slack but not when it comes to grades. JHS they dont care and to them if you fail you fail. in HS you get letters and talks with the teacher if you are having problems. HS is still a challenge for me as i am just in my freshman year. I still have 3 more years to go and am looking foward to it. I hope that the friends that i have now is the friends that i will have when i get out of high school. I hope that high school is a good experience for me and it will get me out of school with a very good degree and maybe a scholarship.
